Dry-fermented sausages are appreciated all over the world for their sensory characteristics. Carbohydrates (sugars) added during production process, type and quantity of which directly affect quality this product. However, there few data on role sugars instrumental parameters derived from Iberian pork. The objective was to determine effect different carbohydrate formulas ripening time dry-fermented pork sausages. Five batches were formulated with combinations concentrations carbohydrates...
Wnt signaling regulates hippocampal development but little is known about the functions of specific receptors in this structure. Frizzled 9 selectively expressed hippocampus and one 20 genes typically deleted Williams syndrome. Since syndrome associated with severe visuospatial processing defects, we generated a targeted null allele for frizzled to examine its role development. 9-null mice had generally normal gross anatomical organization showed large increases apoptotic cell death...
The objective of the present study was to assess frequency distribution markers in diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), leptin (LEP), retinoic receptor-related orphan receptor C (RORC), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) genes a Spanish commercial crossbred population (n = 286) produced southwest Spain. We have also evaluated association these 5 major SNP with backfat thickness (BFT) intramuscular fat (IMF) use them routinely industry (if associations...
We conducted the first nutritional analysis of dairy products from traditional Roja Mallorquina sheep breed. Samples bulk raw milk were taken twice a month December 2015 to March 2016 fed using part-time grazing system, and fresh soft (FC, n = 8) ripened (RC, cheeses made. The variability in vitamins, total phenolic compounds (TPC), antioxidant capacity (TAC), fatty acid (FA) content was influenced by cheese-making process (differences between cheese original milk) type technology (mainly...
Demographic and pedigree analyses describe the structure dynamics of livestock populations. We studied information recorded in herdbooks Asturiana de los Valles (AV; N = 458,806), Avileña-Negra Ibérica (ANI; 204,623), Bruna dels Pirineus (BP; 62,138), Morucha (Mo; 65,350), Pirenaica (Pi; 217,428), Retinta (Re; 135,300), Rubia Gallega (RG; 235,511) beef breeds from their creation until 2009. All have increased number registered cows recent years. In all breeds, herds do not behave as isolated...
The increased use of concentrates to reduce pasture as a feed source in productive systems like Payoya breed goat farms has made it necessary decrease feeding costs. inclusion agro-industry by-products such dry orange pulp pellets diets been suggested sustainable alternative cereal-based concentrates. aim this work was assess the influence including on quality cheeses traditionally from milk. We analysed physicochemical characteristics, sensory properties and volatile compound profiles 18...
Butter is an important product for the dairy industry due to its particular sensory attributes and nutritional value, while variability of composition fatty acids in milk can alter physical properties butter acceptance by consumers. highly appreciated distinctive flavor aroma; however, one main drawbacks lies difficulty spreading it at low temperatures. Several types that are present market were used this study. We assessed samples regarding their texture, color properties, volatile organic...
Avilés, C., Juárez, M., Larsen, I. L., Rodas-González, A. and Aalhus, J. L. 2014. Effect of multiple vacuum packs on colour development stability in beef steaks. Can. Anim. Sci. 94: 63–69. The aim this study was to compare the steaks from longissimus dorsi muscle previously submitted four treatments packaging aged for 15 d. Muscle portions were either packed d (NRP), or repacked after 2 h (RP2h), 8 (RP8d) (RP2h+8d). Purge loss values RP8d RP2h+8d higher (P=0.019) than those NRP drip...
The effect of concentrates based on unconventional ingredients the intramuscular fatty acid profile lambs was evaluated. A total 105 were assigned to one three treatments: Control (concentrate cereals and soybean meal like commercial concentrates), Camelina (where 50% crude protein from replaced by camelina meal), Fibrous several fibrous by-products, such as hulls wheat bran, well other ingredients). After 42 days in feedlot, sacrificed, fat determined gas chromatography. Total meat lipids...
Frequencies of two SNPs in the μ-calpain (CAPN1) and calpastatin (CAST) genes local foreign commercial cross-breeds used south-western Spain (Charolais, Limousin, Retinta) were evaluated association these markers with texture analysis animals fattened under different feedlot conditions was assessed. Marker frequencies estimated a 286 bull crossbred population longisimus dorsi muscles from subsequently selected 161 to measure Warner-Bratzler shear force raw cooked samples at three ageing days...
Summary The direct and maternal genetic effects were estimated for the preweaning growth of Retinta calves with a multitrait model across parities, using longitudinal approach random regression models ( RRM ). 120 (P120) 180 days (P180) weights (5972 calves) considered as different traits in each calving. heritability effect parities was on average 0.37 P120 0.58 P180, slightly higher than estimates by univariate (0.30 0.56) bivariate 0.51, respectively). 0.16 0.26 P180 very similar uni‐...
The effects of feeding concentrates with alternative ingredients to cereal and soybean meal on growth performance, carcass characteristics meat quality traits feedlot lambs were studied. A total 105 non-castrated male randomly assigned one three treatments (5 replicates per treatment): Control (CON, similar commercial concentrates), Camelina (CAM, where camelina replaced 50% the crude protein from in CON concentrate), Fibrous (FIB, concentrate without cereals meal, addition several...
Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1 gene) is an enzyme responsible for the endogenous conversion of saturated fatty acid into monounsaturated acids. The objective this study was to assess association a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in SCD1 gene with composition beef intramuscular fat Spanish commercial bull population (n = 155) finished two different diets. results suggested that marker could be used as candidate obtain healthier final product.
Finishing diets in intensive beef production systems are mainly based on cereals, which does not take advantage of the capacity ruminant digestive system to digest fibrous feeds, cannot be considered sustainable and contribute circular bioeconomy. Our aim was investigate effects an alternative concentrate rich agro-industrial by-products for finishing crossbred Limousine heifers. Four pens with 12 heifers four 13 were randomly allocated one two treatments: control (CON), a commercial 43.3%...
There is growing interest in increasing omega-3 fatty acid (FA) contents ruminant meat by means of dietary manipulation, but the effects such manipulation on productive results and quality need to be ascertained. The aim present study was assess supplementing lambs with competent reticular groove reflex (RGR) marine algae as a source acids growth performance, carcass traits, characteristics. Forty-eight feedlot were distributed into three equal groups: control group neither consumed nor had...
